Accessibility is one of the recrements to ensure that assistive technology can recognize a status message.

When a form has a validation requirement, a user doesn’t fill the field, and an error message popups up, assistive technology must recognize this message.
The way to do this is using role="alert".

I don’t know how to add role="alert" to {header:errorClass}.
For <span class="formValidation"> I can add manualy in the template layout <span class="formValidation" role="alert">.
Can you standard add role="alert" to validation and error classes?
